(1) Those who have received, or attempted to receive, unemployment benefits by fraud or other improper means shall be denied employment promotion allowances from the date when they received, or attempted to receive, such unemployment benefits; provided, the same shall not apply to any subsequent eligibility for benefits that may be approved after the job-leaving relevant to such improper claim. <Amended on May 26, 2020>

(2) Notwithstanding the main clause of paragraph (1), if fraud or other improper means constitute grounds prescribed by Presidential Decree, such as filing a false report or failing to file a report pursuant to Article 47(1), employment promotion allowances shall not be denied; provided, if such violations are committed on at least two occasions, the main clause of paragraph (1) shall govern.

(3) Even if those who have received, or attempted to receive, unemployment benefits by fraud or other improper means are denied employment promotion allowances, as prescribed in paragraph (1) or (2) and thus denied early re-employment allowances, they shall be considered to have received the denied early re-employment allowances for the purposes of applying Article 64(4) thereto. <Amended on May 26, 2020>
